Question

How do I get started with WebSmart PHP?

Answer

To run WebSmart PHP applications on your iSeries you should FIRST install either Zend Core (older) or Zend Server ( current as of May 2010) BEFORE installing WebSmart.
 

How can I check whether  I have Zend Core or Zend Server  installed on my iSeries?

Follow these steps to  determine if you have  Zend Core or Server  installed:
  • Run the command 'go licpgm'
  • At the menu presented, select option 10.
  • In the list of licensed programs, check that either the licensed program 1ZCORE5 or 2ZSVRPI are listed with a status of *INSTALLED.

If you don't already have Zend Core or Zend Server on your system, you can download and install Zend Server CE from Zend's website. At this page, download either of these:

  • Zend Server for IBM i (PHP 5.3)
  • Zend Server for IBM i (PHP 5.3) Windows Installer
You can then follow the instructions posted at the Zend Developer's Zone (up until the section 'Saying Hello'), or after performing a basic install, review the configuration instructions in the Zend Server CE online documentation.
 
 
How do I check which version of WebSmart I have?
To check your current version of WebSmart open the WebSmart  IDE and click on "Help/About WebSmart" from the menu toolbar.
 
If you are not at WebSmart 6.51 or higher, you don't have the required WebSmart components. Any later release includes the PHP components. You can download the latest version of WebSmart from this site.
 
I installed WebSmart before I installed Zend Core or Zend Server. What should I do?
When you install WebSmart, the software is configured to automatically detect the presence of Zend Core or Zend Server on your system, and adjust the initial configuration accordingly.
 
If you want to evaluate WebSmart PHP, and have already installed WebSmart before Zend Core or Server, there are some manual changes you need to make to your Apache configuration. These are described in Knowledge Base Article 6991.
 
I have installed all the required components, but my PHP programs won't run. What should I do now?
If you need a hand, call Technical Support! We'll be happy to help you out.
